Method, system, and computer-readable recording medium for providing education service based on knowledge units

Abstract

According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for providing education service based on knowledge units is provided, comprising the steps of: (a) generating a curriculum based on a user's achievement for at least one knowledge unit, said curriculum including at least one problem composed based on said at least one knowledge unit; and (b) providing said at least one problem to said user.

1 . A method for providing education service based on knowledge units, comprising the steps of:
 (a) generating a curriculum based on a user's achievement for at least one knowledge unit, said curriculum including at least one problem composed based on said at least one knowledge unit; and   (b) providing said at least one problem to said user.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one problem is composed by a knowledge chain comprised of knowledge units different from said at least one knowledge unit. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one knowledge unit is organized together with other knowledge units to form a matrix representing associations between the knowledge units. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein said associations are identified when the knowledge units constitute a knowledge chain together. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said user's achievement for said at least one knowledge unit is determined based on feedback that said user provided previously in response to another problem composed based on said at least one knowledge unit. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said feedback is the answer to said another problem. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said feedback is one of the answers to the individual solution steps for said another problem. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said user's achievement for said at least one knowledge unit is further determined based on the amount of time that said user spent or the number of hints that said user used before said user provided said feedback. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said user's achievement for said at least one knowledge unit may be reduced over time. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said curriculum includes a plurality of problems, and each of said plurality of problems is composed based on said at least one knowledge unit. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said generating a curriculum is further based on grade information, learning course information, or learning unit information of said at least one knowledge unit. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said generating a curriculum is further based on the difficulty level of said problem. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said generating a curriculum is further based on the number of knowledge units constituting said problem. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of providing contents representing said at least one knowledge unit to said user. 
     
     
         15 . A system for providing education service based on knowledge units, comprising:
 (a) a curriculum generation unit to generate a curriculum based on a user's achievement for at least one knowledge unit, said curriculum including at least one problem composed based on said at least one knowledge unit; and   (b) a knowledge providing unit to provide said at least one problem to said user.   
     
     
         16 . A computer-readable recording medium having stored thereon a computer program to execute the method of  claim 1 .
